I agree with Trini. My response would probably have been ...."don't worry about it; let's just try again." Later, when leading the cross again, I would make the lead very clear so that I'm sure she'd follow correctly.. Then I could say something like ... "OK, no problem". This kind of thing happens all the time and the girl is always very happy with the outcome.
As for Jay's advice to the girl, during a milonga, to 'bend the knees more and take bigger backward steps', that's very fundamental teaching and, IMO, definitely shouldn't be done at a milonga. However, LEADING the girl to do it would be a completely different thing and would be very acceptable, IMO.
